Which One Are You Feeding?

On the first day of "Master Your Mind", T. Harv Eker started by telling a story that goes like this.

A grandfather and a grandson were walking in the woods. While walking, they saw all sorts of animals - rabbits, deer, birds and so on.

The grandfather asked the grandson, "Do you know what are the two most important animals in our life?"

The grandson thought for a while and said, "I don't know. What are they, grandpa?"

The grandfather said, "It's the two wolves in our mind. One wolf is loving and nurturing and supportive and tells us we can be whatever we want to be. The other wolf fills us with fear, self-doubts and belittle our dreams."

The grandson asked, "Which wolf wins?"

The grandfather said, "The one you keep feeding."

Which wolf are you feeding?

It's A New Life

I was at T. Harv Eker's "Master Your Mind" seminar last weekend. The most important thing I accomplished was forgiveness.

There were a few people who had hurt me badly in the past. For a long time, I carried a burden of pain inside me.

I knew that I need to forgive them unconditionally if I want to be free of the burden of pain I've been carrying with me for years. But I found it so hard to forgive and let go because I simply cannot understand why they would hurt me that way.

Last weekend, at the end of "Master Your mind" I was finally able to forgive and let go unconditionally to free myself of the burden I've been carrying for years. When I made the decision, I felt free. I haven't felt so free until now.

It's true - we forgive people who wronged us for us, not for them.

I'm ready to start a new life. It's a new beginning. In front of me is a blank white canvas and I'm going to paint a beautiful picture because life is beautiful.

Creating A Win-Win For Everyone

I was at the Guerilla Business Intensive (GBI) in Singapore last week. The organiser is Success Resources & Peak Potential Training (T. Harv Eker's company). Eker was one of the instructors.

The 5-day seminar is the best money and time I've spent this year. I've learned so much about business, marketing, and negotiation.

What is the most profound thing I learned? That negotiation is about creating a win-win situation for all parties. Many people seem to think that negotiation is about getting as much as you can for yourself. The other party must lose in order for you to win. That must be the biggest myth in human history.

Negotiation is not about hoarding everything for yourself. It's about creating a win-win situation so that everyone is happy with what they have. Think of it this way: would you want to work again with anyone who wants to take everything from you and bleed you dry? Very unlikely.

Doing business is about creating a win-win situation for everyone involved - yourself, your customers, your suppliers etc. It's about providing value for other people. It's not about "me, me, me!".

Anyway... We were given a template that we can use to plan our business strategy and given time to do our plan and have it criticized by two other people. Awesome exercise.

I went to Singapore with a vague idea for a new business and came home with clarity on what I want to do. The business idea has evolved into something much more substantial that my initial half-baked idea.

I'm so excited!!
